Stowaway Monologue

As part of our study on Shakleton’s remarkable expedition to the South Pole, we looked at Percy’s story, that of a young boy who lay hidden for three days beneath a pile of rags on the ‘Endurance’. We used role-play to help us understand how Percy must have felt during those three long days before we wrote his monologue, explaining just why he had gone to such lengths and why he deserved his place onboard.
